Fight the Power
Townhall – Mona Charen – 5/17/2013
Obama finds Adams, Jefferson
and Co. passe. He doesn't recognize the capacity of government to abuse power
when in the proper (i.e. Democratic) hands -- or, more likely, doesn't care.
His arrogance about his own good intentions for the "middle class" --
makes him contemptuous of those who agree with Madison that government power must always be
carefully constrained.
Barack Obama . . . disdains the constitutional order. The
evidence is in the legislation he signed. Both the Affordable Care Act and
Dodd-Frank create boards with utterly (in the case of Dodd Frank) and nearly
(in the case of Obamacare) unreviewable power. Both are the subjects of
lawsuits challenging their constitutionality.
At his Thursday press
conference, Obama promised that if "there's a problem in government, we'll
fix it." But his overweening signature legislation guarantees that power
will be abused.
Shielding government
agencies from judicial and congressional review is an open invitation to the
kind of misuse a wiser person would guard against. Wiser men did. They created
our constitution, which Obama and his progressive allies flout.
